Hi Barry, > We plan to use NetCDF4 to package our satellite imagery to send to > an end user. The plan is to describe our imagery as a two dimensional > array of pixel values (each pixel value being a 16 bit Integer). Neither > dimension is unlimited. We plan to use the Classic model. No compression > or packing is planned for. Approximately 20 metadata attributes are > planned for (each attribute being about 10 bytes long). No parallel > processing planned for. The hardware platform is an Intel "XEONM388" > processor with a clock spped of 2 Ghz. Memory = 8 GB. I need some rough > order of magnitude numbers for how long it takes to write a 100 x 100 > array as described above. Also what percentage of the generated file size > is overhead. If there are other factors that significantly affect the > numbers feel free to include them as defaults in your estimates. The write takes about 0.02 sec. Less than 2.6% of the file is overhead. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: CFH-512758 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
